I really liked it. I just suggest that they should offer more variety at breakfast—maybe include traditional Dominican dishes like mangú to make it different. I noticed that every night we stayed there it was the same. Although it was very good and fresh, they should vary the menu.

This is an interesting and well appointed little boutique hotel at the quiet end of the Colonial District, comfortably furnished and with very pleasant staff. The garden is especially delightful. While the square opposite is quite busy and even noisy during the daytime, it is relatively quiet at night. From the point of view of security, we never felt uncomfortable walking in our neighborhood.
